Chapter 18: Cousin Yiwen
Shen Chuyao left the room almost jogging. Thinking of the scene just now, the heat on her face still couldn't go away. She had abided by the etiquette taught to her by her father since she was a child and had never been rude in front of others, but today she Because of this Han Rongxuan, her gong was broken. You know, from the past to the present, she has only revealed her 'true face' in front of one person, and that person is naturally Yuan Shaojie.
When she thought of Yuan Shaojie, a feeling of loneliness appeared on her face unconsciously.
Her birthday is coming soon, will he come back as scheduled? If he comes back, how should she face him?
Suddenly, all the worries came to her mind, and her thoughts were once again filled with those annoying things.
"Madam, there is a girl outside the door asking to see you."
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice that Butler Huang had arrived in front of her at some point.
Suddenly coming back to her senses, she deliberately suppressed the melancholy in her eyes, turned around, and asked Butler Huang with some doubts. "Girl? Butler Huang, did you ask her what her last name was?" She had now become a crosser. The mouse wanted everyone to come up and step on her. At this moment, she really couldn't think of anyone who would come and see her.
"I asked, but the girl refused to say anything. She just said that you will know after you go there, madam. However, the girl looks like she is dressed like a lady from a wealthy family. I guess she must be your old friend in the past. ." Butler Huang carefully recalled the woman's appearance, temperament and conversation, and reported them to Shen Chuyao one by one.
"Butler, please take me to see it!"
"Yes." Butler Huang responded, leading Shen Chuyao toward the door.
After passing through the corridor, the two of them arrived at the door in a short time.
Standing in front of the gate, Shen Chuyao looked around and around, but she didn't see the girl that Butler Huang mentioned. For a moment, the doubts in her heart deepened.
"Butler, is that girl talking about something else?"
Butler Huang thought for a moment and shook his head at her. "The girl didn't say anything. She only said that Madam, you will know who she is when you come out and take a look."
Hearing what Butler Huang said, Shen Chuyao's doubts became even more serious. "It's strange, who could it be?" She walked out of the door and looked around, but she still couldn't see any young girl. Just as she turned around to go back to her room, suddenly a sweet and clear female voice sounded not far behind her.
"Chu Yao."
This voice sounds so familiar.
In an instant, her whole body stiffened, and her entire brain went blank for a moment. Turning around quickly, she looked at the familiar face standing in front of her with surprise, and felt that the joy in her heart almost made her unable to breathe.
"Cousin..." She whispered and threw herself into Lin Yiwen's arms. She never thought that she would see her cousin again in this life. She thought they would never have the chance to meet again!
Lin Yiwen smiled faintly, and couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes. "You are already married, why are you still acting like a child?" She scolded Shen Chuyao softly, but her words were full of affection.
Quickly standing up, Shen Chuyao gently wiped away the tears on her face, dragging Lin Yiwen towards the house. She had not seen her cousin for almost a year after she had a miscarriage. She once asked her aunt She inquired about the whereabouts of her cousin, but her aunt was unwilling to mention the daughter who had made her lose face. She only said that her cousin had been married off to another place as a concubine. At that time, she felt very sad. She didn't know what to do. She and her cousin had grown up together since childhood, and the two of them had a very close relationship. She had always treated her cousin as her biological sister, so when she learned that her cousin was actually because of Han Rongxu When it became so miserable, she secretly swore that she would never marry Han Rongxu as the crown prince, even if it cost her her life.
As soon as she entered the house, she hurriedly took Lin Yiwen to the main hall.
"Butler Huang, hurry up and prepare some snacks and tea. My cousin came here early in the morning and I'm afraid she might be hungry now."
"Yes, yes, I'll go right away." Butler Huang responded and hurriedly ran out of the main hall and towards the kitchen.
As soon as Butler Huang left, there were only two people left in the entire hall. Shen Chuyao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lin Yiwen to sit down, and asked guiltily. "Cousin, you haven't come to see me for so long, haven't you? Are you resenting me?" She knew that Han Rongxu had always been in her cousin's heart, so when she learned that she was going to marry Han Rongxu, the first person she thought of was her cousin.
Lin Yiwen lowered her head slightly and gently held Shen Chuyao's hand back in her palm. She couldn't help but her eyes turned red. "You have done so many things for me, how could I still resent you?" She knew that if it weren't for Her reason is that no matter how courageous Chu Yao is, she will not risk her head to resist the imperial edict.
"No! In fact, I haven't done anything for my sister, so you don't have to care so much. Look, isn't my sister living a good life now? I am also a princess now!" Shen Chuyao showed her teeth. Smiling, I deliberately wanted to say everything in a calm and clear tone, but I didn't expect the tears in my eyes to begin to well up.
Seeing her like this, Lin Yiwen's heart suddenly stung, and the guilt in her heart deepened. "Chu Yao, you don't have to do this. Even if you marry him, I won't blame you. In fact, I won't blame you. , I have known for a long time that he has never loved me. He just treats me as a toy, a toy for him to entertain when he is bored. In fact, after going through so much, I have already thought about it." This relationship cost her a lot. The price was painful. Not only was her body injured, but her broken heart was also injured! To this day, whenever she thinks of her missing child, she still can't help but silently wipe away her tears.
Seeing that Lin Yiwen became silent, Shen Chuyao knew that she must be thinking of her child. Feeling anxious, she hurriedly wanted to say something to change the subject, but Han Rongxuan came at this moment.
"Who are you?" Han Rongxuan looked Lin Yiwen up and down for dozens of seconds before asking this question.
Lin Yiwen also paid attention to Han Rongxuan for a long time. Seeing that he was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a green birthmark that almost covered the entire left side of his face, she couldn't help but look at Shen Chuyao, and she seemed to be a little surprised by Han Rongxuan's appearance. "Chu Yao, who is he?" She asked Shen Chuyao in confusion.
"I am her husband." Before Shen Chuyaoshang could answer, Han Rongxuan on the side had already answered Lin Yiwen's question before she could speak.
Lin Yiwen's eyes widened in shock, and she looked Han Rongxuan carefully up and down again, then looked back at the silent Shen Chuyao, and asked hurriedly. "Chuyao, is what he said true?" She had heard it earlier. Chu Yao married Prince Xuan, but she did not expect that the so-called Prince Xuan would look like this.
Shen Chuyao took a deep breath and nodded lightly towards Lin Yiwen. The matter had reached this point, and she didn't think she had anything to hide.
"Chu Yao..." Lin Yiwen looked at her with a distressed face, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. "If it weren't for me, how could you..."
Seeing the guilt on Lin Yiwen's face, Shen Chuyao hurriedly stepped forward and held her hands. "It's none of your business, so don't blame yourself. I'm living a good life now! Rong Xuan is very good to me. I don't know how happy I am right now!" She said and hurriedly pulled Han Rongxuan over. "Rongxuan, this is my cousin, please say something quickly!" She was eager to create a good atmosphere in front of her cousin. It was a picture of myself being very happy, but I just didn’t want to make her sad.
"Ah?" Han Rongxuan looked at her with some embarrassment, really not knowing what she wanted him to say.
When Lin Yiwen heard what Shen Chuyao said, the guilt in her heart subsided a little. She hurriedly calmed down her emotions. She felt blessed and saluted Han Rongxuan. "I have met the prince."
Seeing Lin Yiwen salute to him, Han Rongxuan was a little dumbfounded and didn't know where to move his hands and feet. He had never been respected by others, and could even be said to be despised by everyone, so when faced with such a situation, he really didn't know what he was doing What to do.
Lin Yiwen was slightly stunned. Seeing Han Rongxuan standing there, she didn't know whether she should get up or not, so she kept maintaining the posture of saluting Han Rongxuan just now.
Seeing this scene, Shen Chuyao on the side hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lin Yiwen up, relieving the embarrassment between the two of them in time.
"By the way, cousin, why did you come to the capital? Haven't you always been in your hometown?" She deliberately changed the subject.
